The Canterbury Inn

Welcome to the Canterbury Inn

Voted one of the best vacation getaways in Washington, Ocean Shores offers six miles of sandy beach, 23 miles of interconnecting fresh water canals and a quaint beach town to shop and explore. The ocean is the big draw, no matter the season. Visitors enjoy beach combing, horseback riding, clamming, kite flying or just watching the sunset over the Pacific.

Our fresh water canals provide the perfect spot to kayak, water ski, and fish, to bike around and they even come into play on the golf course. And don’t forget our town...Ocean Shores is full of unique shops, antique stores, boutiques and galleries. Once you get hungry Ocean Shores has plenty of dining options, from fresh seafood and steaks to some of the best chowders in the state. And of course, there’s always an espresso or ice cream, to top off the evening.

Our hotel is more than just a room with a bed. Each unit is individually owned and decorated and you will find many of the ammenities you would have in your own beachfront condo. Come visit us today, and see why generations of couples and families have made the Canterbury Inn their beach place in Ocean Shores!

A coastal vacation retreat

There’s a lot to do in Ocean Shores, even if you’re here just to relax. Beach combing, horseback riding, and walks on the beach are popular. And so is visiting our galleries, antique shops, and boutiques. For those feeling more adventurous, there are hiking trails to explore along with a whole peninsula of paved bike routes. Or visit our fresh water lake and canal system for kayaking, water skiing, and swimming. There is no shortage of activities for your coastal retreat! Be sure to look for our stuffed deer hidden inside the hotel if you're visiting with children. We randomly place the deer around the property and when its found if you take it to the Front Desk, the person returning it will receive a prize. Who doesn't like prizes?!?!
